Sen Nyako Can’t Hurt A Fly – Media Aide
From Mohammed Ismail, Yola
A former Adamawa Central Senatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ahmed Musa, has petitioned the State Commissioner of Police over alleged criminal assault and threat to life meted to him by Senator Abdul-Aziz Nyako.
Both Nyako and Musa recently contested for Adamawa central senatorial ticket of the party in which Nyako emerged victorious.
In a petition made available to newsmen in Yola Wednesday, Abdullahi Musa lamented that the series of events which started like verbal attack snowballed into subtle threats to his life and his followers.
He accused Senator Nyako of criminal assault and intimidation which occurred on the 20th of August during the visit of Senator Kashim Ibrahim Shettima, the APC Vice Presidential Candidate.
Musa alleged that he was at the Yola International Airport as a stakeholder to receive Shettima where Abdul-Aziz Nyako dramatically assaulted him and his supporters with his political thugs.
Abdullahi Ahmed Musa pointed out that, in the spirit of the electoral act that prohibit thuggery and violence, appropriate action should be taken against what he described as undemocratic and uncultured behaviour by Musa.
Responding to the allegations, the Media aide to Senator Abdulaziz Nyako, Awwal Usman, said his principal can’t even hurt a fly, let alone issue death threats to anyone.
He counselled Abdullahi Musa to instead of extending what he described as unfounded belligerence towards the senator shift his aggression to the party and airport security who insisted that protocols should be adhered to.
“The truth of the matter is that the APC has assigned Nyako and four others to receive the vice presidential candidate who was in town for a wedding ceremony.
“The arrangement was made in such a way that after he received the presidential running mate, Nyako will introduce all the personalities that lined up to recieve the politician. But against all odds, Speaker refused to obey that simple instruction leading to the fracas,” Nyako spokesman explained.
“I advise him to redirect his angst and bitterness to the party for selecting five people and also the airport security for insisting that protocols must be obeyed and leave Nyako alone,” he said.
